Compton’s own golden boy, Dr. Dre, made multiple headlines this weeks as fans waited in anticipation for his new album, “Compton,” to finally be available online Thursday.

The album, inspired by the N.W.A. biopic “Straight Outta Compton” which opens Aug. 14, is available via Apple Music and iTunes at 6 p.m. It is the first album released by the 50-year-old music mogul since 1999.

What’s more, however, is that Dr. Dre vows to donate royalties from his new album to his hometown. In an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, the former N.W.A. member said he spoke to Compton Mayor Aja Brown about building “a new performing arts and entertainment facility for the kids of Compton,” according to the Associated Press.
